You need to shield your power utility from outages and soaring fines. To protect your power utility and comply with U.S. law, PLP offers an expanded series of RAPTOR PROTECTOR products. These covers quickly and easily snap onto insulators or dead-ends, providing a barrier between birds and potential electrocution. The RAPTOR PROTECTOR family offers six variations that fit most insulator or dead-end configurations.

Splice Shunts - A Proven Solution to a Growing Problem
PLP Splice Shunts are a quicker, safer, less expensive option to revive failing splices in minutes. Linemen can install them over existing splices without disrupting power, and restore 100 percent of electrical conductivity while reducing temperatures across automatic or compression splices. Made from lightweight aluminum alloy rods, coated with conductive grit, they install easily with hot sticks, and no special tools are required.

PLP offers free training for all products, including at customer locations and in the field. Schedule a training session when you visit PLP at IEEE.
